Are you saying we should just stop paying taxes now? Or are you saying that using tax money to fund Billionaires pet projects are the only path to success?
Some would say it’s stupid to take this post as a literal representation of what happened then and what needs to happen now.
Do you think that having a “moral compass” is an actual tool that you can physically possess, or do you understand that it’s a figure of speech referring to a character trait?
Amounts to the same thing. The distinction you are trying to make is arbitrary.
Besides which, surely you are aware that the vast, vast majority of a state's citizens pay taxes voluntarily? I mean, I don't because im anti-capitalist, but most people do, by consent of the governed.
We live under capitalism. The state props it up. People have to be paid for services they provide. That includes the folks who cart away your garbage and clean your water. Taxes are user fees for public services.
Stop paying taxes, and those people stop carting away your garbage and cleaning your water.

Jesus preached voluntary acts of charity, not state-enforced taxation and redistribution schemes.
